Hello! I have my May calendar page ready to share! I started with this sketch from Stick It Down:
I started by choosing photos for the suggested photo spots. I once again packed a bunch into the strip on the second page. As I was thinking about the design, I realized I could fit some more into the squares on either end of the page. One of the things we did last May was to go to the Arboretum. We had taken a bunch of photos of the flowers and trees there. I used the squares as an opportunity to show off some of the close up photos we took. Once I had my papers, photos and journaling in place, I worked on embellishing. I used my Cricut to cut the title (Did you know they added an "offset" feature that allows you to make a shadow/outline of anything you make? It is awesome!) The blue wasn't standing out very well against the wood grain paper, so I outlined it with a fine tip black pen. I fussy cut a buch of flowers from some of the patterned papers. I then layered those and stickers around my page. I finished my clusters off with some pearls and pink Nuvo drops.
I am also entering this in the "Lasting Memories" flowers and tags challenge.
Thanks for stopping to check out my layout!
